GREG GUTFELD: The 'stupid fad' of people enforcing pronouns is 'dying'
Fox News
FOX News host Greg Gutfeld pulls the curtain on the rise of "performative identity theater" and waning support for pronoun "hysteria" on "Gutfeld!"
Greg Gutfeld currently serves as host of Gutfeld! (weeknights, 11PM-12AM/ET) and co-host of cable news’ highest-rated program The Five (weekdays, 5-6PM/ET).
Suddenly, it became compulsory, specifically for the people around the kids who had to play along. It wasn't just, "Hello, I'm Greg, and I'm a ze." It's, "Hello, I'm Greg, and if you don't refer to me as ze, I'm going to report you to the principal." Which is weird, because I should be out of school anyway, especially with the restraining order.
But what pronouns offered was an option for truly dull but needy people to gain attention and power over anyone in their vicinity. No longer did you have to do anything interesting or become knowledgeable in an area that might impress people. It was just me, me, me disguised as they, them or theirs, which destroyed language. Imagine telling your mom you're having a friend over for dinner, and she asks, "What time?" And you say, "Oh, they'll be there at 7."
